Trend Micro’s Patch Predicament: Apex One Vulnerability Under Active Exploitation
Trend Micro’s Apex One vulnerability is causing a stir, with no patch until mid-August. The company suggests mitigation, but it disables a key feature. Meanwhile, experts recommend keeping the management console away from the internet. Remember, when it comes to cyber threats, prevention is the best patch.
Hot Take:
Looks like Trend Micro’s Apex One has a new meaning for “unpatched territory.” While the company’s plan for patching these vulnerabilities is more of a “wait and see” game, maybe it’s time for a cybersecurity crash course for the affected customers. Or, you know, just don’t expose your management console to the internet like an open invite to a hacker’s holiday party.
